Yes....I remember when snap-tight meant rudimentary, beginner kit. This one definitely is way more detailed and a huge step up from those. Thanks so much for your kind compliment.
Awesome work! The Bad Batch is a great show and the Marauder is such a unique ship in the show. I wish I had more time to build models these days. For the Marauder I just bought a toy version of it made by Hasbro in the SW Micro Galaxy Squadron line. It's pretty well detailed. I figure with some toys, I could take a quick way and do some detailing on them to enhance the details. The level of details that toys can produce these days is amazing.. especially with those special crowded funded runs from HasLab such as their Razor Crest and most recent Ghost. The guys at Tested with Adam Savage did a great job of enhancing the Razor Crest with some weathering techniques. Nothing wrong with snap kits. I recall Reveal had some great SW snap kits that were basically fully painted, even the pilot figures, and look pretty good with some quick detailing to enhance and clean them up further. I really like some of Bandai's SW snap kits. They are so detailed and have very tight fitment tolerances and they mold them in smart ways to more easily hide seam lines in the construction of the various sections.
Thanks for your kind comments. Yes quite agree kits and toys these days have raised the bar. Models like these and especially from Bandai are so well thought out and engineered. They really have come a long way. Thanks for watching
Yes i was going to place it onto the stand but completely forgot. The ship was already attached. Too hard to airbrush by then. Tried sponging it on but it didn’t look discernible. Oh well. Thanks for your kind comments.
Cool, just looked at this today at the model shop! I've been working on a toy style version of this for far too long out of a barbie jet to fit 6 inch figures! Going for a sorta deformed early 80s Kenner toy style...
Moved in the middle of it and it got shelved, but I finally found Hunter in the Black series line so now I got the whole team! Got me energized to Finnish it up! Also your video popping up was like a sign from the force!
@@InterstellarModeler Unbelievably, just this afternoon I found it in a New Zealand online store, and I ordered it! Not cheap, but I will have it for Christmas.
Welcome! I would like to know from you exactly how you made the electronics? If you have time, could you describe it to me, I would be interested in everything, what you used and how you assembled it. Many thanks! Tibor Czeróczki (HUNGARY)
Hi, all of the details are found betwn 4:15 to about 7:00 in the video. The lights used are chip sized SMDs from Evandesigns, the link is provided in the description. They’re attached to a switch and 3V power source. If u have specific questions on hooking all that up, Evandesigns provides great advice when asked. Hope that helps. Thanks.
Thanks so much. Yes I thought fogging up the windows was a great idea too although someone reminded me recently that one could scratch build a cockpit if they wanted to.
Thank you and the same to you. Some people note the ship calls mind the Klingon Bird of Prey because of the wings. I love the design. Thanks for the nice comments
Can you explain how you are airbrushing Folk art paint? What are you thinning it with. How well does it hold up compared to Vallejo for example. Great job on the Marauder. I had to glue my wings in flight too. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful holiday season.
Hi Scott. I found success by filtering through a fine mesh filter meant for liquid 3D printing resin. The paint is first thinned with water. I then run that through the filter twice. I sometimes end up making the paint too thin requiring more applications with the airbrush but it still works. Here’s a link to the filter. The paint holds up just as well as othr types of acrylic paints. Advantages to using craft paints include costs and a huge variety of colors. Hope that helps. And thanks for your kind comments. amzn.to/3sTjqOL
Great job, I bought my Maurader at Wonderfest and plan on starting it soon. I am impressed with your use of craft paint. You said you mixed it with Vallejo paint. I have used Vallejo thinner on craft paint with good results, what do you use?
I mainly use water and pour it twice through a fine filter. That has been a big help. Look for 3d printing resin filter on Amazon. They’re made to pour unised liqued resin back into the bottle. Works great for filtering thicker paints.
Awesome job as always! Dumb question about the actual kit itself. Is that supposed to be another turret above the cockpit, or just a molded in greeblie? (Full disclosure, havent watched the show because 95% of the animation styles theyve used on the various shows bug the crap out of me for whatever reasons. 🫤) With amt, i figure it could go either way, lol.
